  <div>
   <p>Before performing backup, you need to associate the resources to be protected with a specified SLA. The system protects the resources and periodically executes backup jobs based on the SLA. You can perform a backup job immediately through manual backup.</p>

    <h4 class="sectiontitle">Prerequisites</h4>
    <p>Before the backup, ensure that the Exchange Server service and related dependent services are running properly. For details about the corresponding services, see <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/plan-and-deploy/deployment-ref/services-overview?view=exchserver-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Overview of Exchange services on Exchange servers</a>.</p>
    <ul>
     <li>Before the backup, ensure that the <span>product</span> system time is the same as the client time. Otherwise, data may be lost after log restoration.</li>
    </ul>
   </div>
   <div class="section">
    <h4 class="sectiontitle">Context</h4>
    <ul>
     <li>During manual backup, the parameters defined in the SLA (except <span class="uicontrol"><b><span>Automatic Retry</span></b></span>), such as <span class="uicontrol"><b><span>Rate Limiting Policies</span></b></span>, are applied to the manual backup job.</li>
     <li>Copies generated by manual backup are retained for the duration defined in the SLA.</li>
     <li>If a replication or archive policy has been defined in the SLA, the system will perform replication or archiving once based on the SLA when you perform manual backup.</li>
     <li>For mail backup, a registered user must have the <strong>ApplicationImpersonation</strong> role permissions. When mailbox backup is performed for the first time, the host where the client is installed automatically creates a user group named <strong>Databackup</strong>, which has the <strong>ApplicationImpersonation</strong> role permissions, and adds the registered user to the user group.</li>
